Overview:

Tunnel Mountain Bed & Breakfast is a charming 3-story fieldstone home nestled on the side of Tunnel Mountain (part of Cheat Mountain), on five private, wooded acres, surrounded by scenic peaks, lush forests and sparkling rivers. The Inn is named for the 1890 railroad tunnel which passes under the hillside.

The interior is finished in pine and rare wormy chestnut woodwork. Tastefully decorated throughout with antiques, collectibles and crafts, it extends a warm and friendly atmosphere to guests looking for a country retreat. Since we have separate owner’s quarters, you can relax undisturbed by the living room fireplace, on the porch or patio, or take a leisurely walk on the property (you may spot a deer or other wildlife).

The three romantic guest rooms, each with its own private bath, offer sensational views, lovely antiques, and handmade comforters. You can choose our pre-Civil War canopy bedroom, the snug antique rope bedroom, or our cozy third floor wormy chestnut paneled queen size bedroom.

Your full breakfast is served at a one-of-a-kind antique dining room table in a setting punctuated with knick-knacks and antiques (a continental breakfast is served in July and August). Freshly ground coffee (or tea, if you wish) is always available. Special diet breakfasts are available upon request. Visit the wildflowers in the spring, go adventuring in the summer, enjoy the leaves in the fall, ski in the winter, and enjoy all the beauty and hospitality of West Virginia all year long!
